Join us to meet local author Edmund A. Kruszynski on Thursday, September 19 at 2:00 pm! He will talk about his book, The Medic's Wife, and books will be available to purchase during a book signing.

The Medic's Wife is based on a true story about a courageous WWII combat medic and the spry widow who ensured his valor was not forgotten.

Edmund Kruszynski, aka Ed was born in Cleveland, Ohio to second-generation Polish immigrants. He became the second college graduate in his family and spent thirty-two years in corporate America. Ed had always been curious about his father's WWII service but after his father's death he assumed those stories would remain untold.

That was until a box was unearthed containing priceless war-time correspondences between his father and mother during the war years. At first Ed thought he would create a nice family narrative. But while working on the project he discovered that his father, a WWII combat medic, witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust first-hand and The Medic's Wife was born.

Married with two sons, a grandchild, and a golden retriever named Lovey, Ed occasionally enjoys a glass of fine Kentucky Bourbon, which came in handy when he experienced a few creative lulls while working on this story.
